James McAvoy News, Pictures, and Videos

Jessica Chastain hits the carpet at a private screening of her movie The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby on Wednesday evening (September 10) at the Landmark Sunshine Cinema in New York City.

The Oscar-nominated actress was joined at the Cinema Society and Prada hosted screening by her co-stars James McAvoy and Jess Weixler, as well as director Ned Benson.

Jessica made an appearance on The Today Show that morning and talked about receiving a college scholarship from the late Robin Williams.

“He was a complete stranger, and he absolutely changed my life,” Jessica said, adding that she hopes to pay the kindness forward. “It inspires me to try to continue his legacy of generosity. It’s such a beautiful thing that he did, and he would want to help other people, I think.”

Jessica Chastain looks beautiful in blue while stepping out of a hotel following a press junket for her movie The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby: Them on Wednesday (August 27) in New York City.

The two-time Oscar-nominated actress used the moment to hold up her iPhone and spread a message – “people need other people,” which is one of the slogans for the charity To Write Love On Her Arms. The organization is dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury, and suicide.

Jessica was joined at the press junket by her co-stars Jess Weixler and James McAvoy, who also appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman later that day.

James McAvoy channels his inner bad ass on the cover of Nylon Guys magazine’s September 2014 issue, on newsstands now.

Here’s what the 35-year-old Scottish actor had to share with the mag:

On his career: “For a long time, I was playing the normal guy in an exceptional world, or the normal guy who was in a relationship with someone much more weird and interesting. I was holding the audience’s hand, guiding them into a world they weren’t familiar with, keeping them onside when things got grotesque. Basically I was letting everybody else do the fireworks.”

On his past roles: “The last two or three years have been so unlike what I was doing for the 10 years before them. There’s a part I’ve been offered and really want to do, but I was worried about taking it because the character is a proper mental case. And I feel like it’s been a couple of years of solely playing mental cases.”

Michael Fassbenderon James’ X-Men set pranks: “Oh, he’s lethal! You’ll find him hiding underneath cars, waiting for you. He once tried to break into my trailer through the skylight. It’s like being in one of those Pink Panther films, and he’s Cato jumping out of the freezer. Just when you think the day’s over, you come home to find James sitting on your toilet with a BB gun.”

The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby, which hits theaters on September 26, centers on “one couple’s story as they try to reclaim the life and love they once knew and pick up the pieces of a past that may be too far gone.”
